Q

Why would a company wish to reduce its bond indebtedness before its bonds reach maturity? Indicate how this can be done and the correct accounting treatment for such a transaction.

It is sometimes desirable to reduce bond indebtedness in order to take advantage of lower prevailing interest rates. Also the company may not want to make a very large cash outlay all at once when the bonds mature. Bond indebtedness may be reduced by either issuing bonds callable after a certain date and then calling some or all of the, or by purchasing bonds on the open market and then retiring them.

Q

Why might a company be interested in using off-balance-sheet financing?

A
  • many believe removing debt enhances the quality of the balance sheet and permits credit to be obtained more readily and at less cost
  • loan covenants are less likely to be violated
  • the asset side of the balance sheet is understated because fair value is not used for many assets. As a result, not reporting certain debt transactions offsets the nonrecognition of fair values on certain assets
